Super slim and portable. Works with my 2022 14” MacBook Pro. They should come with one standard in my best opinion. Although the MacBook gives you an HDMI port, I find using two monitors and my laptop is quite productive! Speedy SDcard reader and micro SD Card reader, reliable every time I put one in. And quite the capable USB ports if I need an external hard drive or thumb drive. Handy labeling on the bottom. Though I wish it had an Ethernet port.

The j5create dongle was a surprising find for me: at the time of purchase, it didn't have any reviews, and it's unusual I buy a product without a rating. I was not disappointed, but I was not impressed, either.
I originally bought this with the late 2020 MacBook Pro 13. I foolishly filtered my options based on what had a 3.5mm headphone jack, as I didn't realize the MacBook had one (an oversight on my end.) Regardless, the dongle proved very useful in all applications.
-Build Quality-
This is not a fancy aluminum device; it's one that gets the job done, looking decent while doing it (and at a good price.) It's made of glossy and smooth-matte plastic, but I have no doubts about its durability. Its labelling is not obnoxious, nor are its edges too sharp. It's a physically light device with a good, albeit plastic, build.
-USB C port-
The USB C port's power delivery capability is almost necessary, as the dongle takes up one of only two USB C ports on the lower end MacBook models. While I could not measure the difference in speed, I found that the charging rate is noticeably faster when the charging brick is connected directly to the laptop. The power delivery, as used through the dongle, is still sufficient to fully power my MacBook Pro 13" under full load.
-USB A ports-
Transfer speed: Read 373 MB/s Write test failed
When doing any task on my MacBook, the two USB type A ports helpfully allowed me to connect a mouse, keyboard, and/or thumb drive. Very useful for peripherals.
-SD Card Slot-
Transfer Speed: Read 74 MB/s | Write 61 MB/s
It's an SD card slot. Creators on Mac will probably need this. Speeds are underwhelming.
For the modern Mac user, the j5create is not a dongle to be slept on. I can recommend this well-priced device for any creator, office user, or even gamer on a new Mac platform.
Available USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and USB Power Delivery 2.0 or 3.0. When using your USB-C power adapter, the multi-adapter powers both the adapter (with attached peripherals) and your laptop

Works great. Anyone who's wondering this is perfect for an ipad or phone when it comes to trying to have a desktop -like set up. I use this with music production and it works awesome. Proper power supply thats compatable with speakers, my midi keyboard, and much more. Its awesome. Would recommend for a mobile studio forsure

My original purchase was awesome but I was a victim of a fire and lost everything so when I got my new computer I also bought another J5 because it's really good piece of requirement

Every time I connect this, my computer freezes frequently while I’m working. It would be useful for a computer that has less powerful. I have a Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 AMD RYZEN 5000 Series
Check if there are any BIOS/UEFI updates available for your laptop from Dell. Sometimes, updating the system firmware can improve compatibility with external devices. Make sure your Windows operating system is up-to-date with the latest updates and patches. Disconnect all external devices (e.g., monitors, hard drives, peripherals) from the hub and use the hub only for power and data. If your laptop operates without freezing, connect external devices one by one to identify the specific device causing the issue. Your laptop's AMD Ryzen processor should be capable of handling multiple tasks. However, if your computer is running resource-intensive applications while connected to the hub, it can lead to freezing. Check your task manager to monitor resource usage and close any unnecessary applications.
